This year, we aim to continue amplifying the movement for a Borderless Africa, rallying Africans to advocate for free movement across the continent. Through partnerships, community actions, and targeted campaigns, we will showcase the power of collective action in shaping Africa’s future.

This collaboration will ensure partners and members of Africans Rising will work together to plan various activities that will engage the grassroots and provide support for volunteers who will be organising various activities during the week. 

In 2025, we aim to expand our legacy by driving systemic change through strategic alliances, grassroots mobilizations, and cross-border advocacy.
